LITTLE FEET.

Two little feet, so small that both may
nestle
In one caressing hand
Two tender feet upon the untried border
OF lifes mysterious land;
Dimplsd and soft, and pink as peach
tree blossoms
In April's fragrant days
How can they walk among the briery
tangles
Edging the worlds rough ways?
These white-rose feet along the doubts
full future
Must bear wOman's load;
Alasl since woman has the heaviest
burden,
And walks the hardest road.
Love, for awhile. will make the path
before them
All dainty, smooth, and fair
Will Gull away the brambles, letting
only
The roses blossom there.
But, when the mothers watchful eyes
are shrouded
Away from sight or men,
And these dear feet are left without bel
guiding,
Who shall direct them then?
How will they be allured. betrayed, de-
luded,
Poor little untaught feetl
Into what dreary mazes will they wan
der,
What dangers will they meet?
Will they go stumbling blindly in the
darkness
OF sorrows fearful shades?
Or find the upland slopes OF peace and
beauty,
Whose sunlight never fsdesP
Will they go toiling up ambitions sum
nit
The common world above?
Or in some Dameless vale securely shell
tered,
Walk side by side with love?
Some feet there be which walk life's
track unwounded.
Which find but pleasant ways;
Some hearts there be to which this life
is only
A round of happy days.
But they are few. Far more there are
who wander
Without hope or friend;
Who find their journey full of pains and
losses,
And long to reach the end.
How shall it be with her. the tender
stranger,
Fair-faced and gentle, eyed.
Before whose unstained feet the worlds
rude highway
Stretches go strange and wide?
All! who may read the futurep For our
darling
We crave all blessings sweet
And pray that He who feeds the crying
ravens
Will guide the baby's feet.

A "Nigger" with a Card.

One afternoon a half-drunken fellow
got on one of the Louisville and Nash
vile sleeping cass bound north.
When the conductor showed him to
his seat, he found clean, well-dressed
gentlemanly looking colored man to be
his partner in that section, and occupy
ing the seat facing his.
He at once began in a drunken fash
ion to abuse the negro. accusing him OF
trying to ssst-uP fes-Euhita folks dotuR
the dude act in charcoal. etc., and final
ly got up from bis seat, declaring that
he'd be id if he'd set thar and be
outdone by blasted niger in high
silk hat
The conductor, to keep the peace and
prevent any disturbance in his car, led
the indignant patron of old Kentucky
bourbon to a seat in another part OF
the car.
Next morning the drunken man, who
was not bad fellow at heart, had so
bered up considerably, and. with some
remembrance of his previous miscon-
duct, went over to the colored mans
seat and commenced to apologize by
saying he had been "a little off his base
the evening before, and did not mean
any harm by anything he might have
said; that he hadn't anything against the
'niggers,' and was always their friend
when they behaved themselves. So he
hoped the stranger would see that in
anything that had passed he had meant
no personal offence to him.
That is all right, sir said the colored
man, with politeness. L saw your con-
dition at once, and of course, under the
circumstances, did not consider you re
sponsible for your acts at that time.
Your apology this morning makes the
amende honorable. Allow meat the
same time offering his card to his for,
mer prosecutor.
The drunken fellow drew back as if
he had been shot. Look a-bere, Mr..
Niger he cried, in great excitement. i

coat and the stove-pipe hat, but III be

Tho Nuisance. Of Paris

The boulevard is becoming more and more
disagreeable, owing to the continual increase
Of professions Of ragged sandwich men, who
by day carry huge placards mounted banner
wise on poles and by night transparent adver-
tisements in the shape of lanterns or luminous
tambourines. Hatters cheap jewellers, music
hall keepers, showmen of all kinds and OF all
grades resort TO this method Of obtaining
publicity and impeding circulation. Another
nuisance is the bowling "camelot," who deals
In second class newspapers and broadsheets
and bawls his ware from morning until mid
night. News, scandal and pornography share
in almost equal proportions the attention Of
these hoarse voiced and horrible creatures,
whose presence and whose cries render the
boulevards a most disagreeable promenade.
The other day gronp Of artists protesting
an ardent love for Paris, and having at their
head the great Messonier, protested against
the erection of the / 900 foot Eiffel tower, on
the ground that it would disfgure and dis
honor Paris, the queen of cities. In the inter-
est of Paris it would be perhaps advisable to
protest against the Disagreement OF the streets
Of the capital by these crowds Of sandwich
men and bawling hawkers. Liberty is doubt
less an excellent thing, but in Paris we are
beginning to have too much Of it. With its
streets and gardens, its monuments, its the
aires, its fine houses and its mild climate,
'aris ought TO be favorite winter city. But
il the authorities do not look to II, and il the
Parisians do not themselves make an effort
toward gayety and elegance, Paris will soon
become neither favorite winter city nor a
favoritc summer city.-Theodore Child in

Professional Entertainers

Within the past five or six years q new
calling in the amusement line has come into
existence. Those who follow it may be desig-
mated as professional entertainers, and they
find plenty to do at club receptions and social
gatherings at private houses without going
upon the stage. An expert upon the banjo
or violin joins forces with a good reader or
humorist, and they may take in third who
has gained reputation as a pianist. This
trio if made up of fair artists, is capable of
presenting programme of light and enter.
tanning character admirably suited to club
reception.
majority of these professional entertain
ers stand well socially and after finishing
their programme become the guests of the
club or family where they may appear "It
is very pleasant way of making a living"
said one of these entertainers q few evenings
ago. "If you make any reputation your SER
vices are sure to be constantly in demand all
through the season, and if you are so in
clined you can pick up a good living at the
several watering places in the summer time.
Now / give recitations and readings and on
occasion can act as accompanist upon the
piano. Ny partner plays the banjo, violin
and piano, and also possesses fair tenor
voice, so you see together we can give plenty
OF variety in our programme. After you
have gained a little reputation at one club
the members Of the other clubs are sure to
hear of It and you soon manage to make
plenty OF dates ahead. Brooklyn Eagle

A Pathetic Incident.

A few weeks ago in this city poor widow
died, leaving one child, little lame boy, to
the cold charities of the world
After his mothers funeral the little fellow
was taken i'll from the combined results Of
grief and neglect and it was then evident
that he would soon be united to his only
friend
He was left alone much of the day, there
being no one who could spare the time to stay
with him. 1t was often noticed that the
voices of two persons could be heard in his
little room. But when those in charge entered
he would be alone and apparently asleep
One day they listened, being quite sure that
no one was with the child, and they overheard
this strange monologue:
"lE you rite there, mammal"
'Yes, my little boy, is rite here"
"Was you went away yet2"
u vented back to heaven to tell God about
my little boy"
"Did you was afraid, mammal"
"No, my own little boy, cause God is nicer'n
peoples"
did you told Him about me, mamman
II folded Him l had a little boy named
Harry-an'-an ~
There was a loud noise of sobbing then, and
the listener without cried, too Presently the
child's voice resumed:
add You told God TO let me come up there,
mammam
"Yes, my boy, an he said 'Bime by, bime
by"
"Mamma, Tse-so-tired--an- -an'-sleepy
AMI want to come an stay with-you-
an'-God"
There was long silence then, broken BY
no cry or sob. The listeners went in after re-
solving in their hearts to be thereafter very
patient with the motherless one

AT. STEWARDS APPOINTMENT.

Lost His Chance of Becoming States
man-Left Out in the Cold.
Nobody dreamed then that Mr. Stewart
would be appointed secretary of the treasury,
but before the 4th of March the place was Of
fered to him. As the world knows he was
appointed and confirmed, and then it was dis
covered that he was ineligible. A forgotten
law prohibited any one interested in imports
from holding the office of secretary of the
treasury. Stewart had been immensely gra-
titled at the offer, and was anxious to hold the
post. He proposed to turn over his great bus
iness to trustees for the space of four years,
the entire profits to be devoted to some public
or charitable purpose In which he should not
be interested
But the device was insufficient to obviate
the difficulty and another secretary was ap-
pointed in his stead. Thus Stewart lost his
chance of becoming a statesman The presi-
dent could find another secretary Of the treas
ury, but Stewart had no other president to
turn to. He became plain dry goods man
again, without place, or power, or public
career. To be so near a great position, and
yet to lose it; to be appointed and confirmed,
and even congratulated; to have made his
arrangements, and, doubtless, determined on
his appointments in advance, and yet to be
dashed down to private life, was hard. But
besides this, Stewart thought that some of
the Importance or influence which had been
offered him should have been allowed to re-
main. He even wanted to retain little Of
the patronage which might have been his

the tone of his conversation. He did not ex-

once anticipated, but even the few favors he
asked had been withheld. The personal friends
he had expected to advance were overlooked,
or their claims belittled, if not ignored. Judge
Hilton, his life long associate and intimate,
he had hoped would be appointed collector Of
New York, and relative of his wife he
wanted made consul at Havre. The collector

to New York; but their intimacy was at an
end.-Adam Badeau's Letter.

Good News for the Britisbers.

Two young men left Chicago few weeks
since to go into business in London, England
They intend starting in the worlds metropo-
lis an American lunchery like those Of the
Kohlsaats and others in Chicago-places
wherein the lunchers sit ON high stools in
front of big counters and eat sandwiches, hot
cakes, pies pastry, pork and beans, etc., all
clean, wholesome and cheap, quickly served
and presenting the attractiveness Of an al
most endless variety. The young men in
tend making their London lunchery as thor
oughly American as possible, with mince pie,
cider, pumpkin pie, pork and beans, buck
wheat cakes, oyster pies and-other dishes dis
tinctively Yankeeish. They have a capital
of only $500 between them, but expect to
reap a rich harvest from their efforts to show
the Londoners q few tricks in the lunching
line. Chicago, by the way, was the pioneer
in this model form Of lunchery, and to this
day carries on the business in a state of per-
fection reached by none Of the imitators in
other cities.-Chicago Herald.
